Title: Spring!
Post by: alicewonders on April 15, 2014, 01:26:38 am
Was doing my daily walk in the park and in my yard today and just had to take some pictures - it's Spring!  These pictures were taken on my phone and I'm for sure no photographer, but I hope you enjoy them and maybe get in the spirit of Spring yourselves.  Please feel free to post any pictures of your own - Spring pictures!

We had a spectacular 80 degrees earlier and then it clouded over.   High of only 68 tomorrow with thunderstorms.

Goodbye cherry blossoms.

LOL!  That's one reason I wanted to take the pictures - it's supposed to get down to 28 degrees here tomorrow night!  I don't know how the new buds and blooms are going to make it.   8888crybaby

Is tonight supposed to be the lunar eclipse?  It figures - it's cloudy and supposed to rain tonight.   :shrug:

I think so.

Yep.  As is typical everytime we have an interesting astronomical event - it was cloudy and raining here.  I missed it.

Snowing here right now too.   :th_10444:

It is supposed to go down in the twenties tonight here, I hope that doesn't hurt the broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, radishes and carrots I have lovingly nurtured.

I haven't bothered to do any yard or garden work yet, being all too familiar with the weather around here. We could get snow in May.  **nononono*

I missed the moon last night because of rain and clouds. Woke up to a couple inches of snow! Cats won't even go outside, and the salt trucks are busy. This is "The Winter of Our Discontent".  :silly:

We still have 38 inches of snow. I can tell it is spring. Robins are in town and the creeks aren't frozen over. You can hear them.
